Five actors who have portrayed beloved characters in “Buffy: the Vampire Slayer” will appear at the Wizard World Toronto Comic Con, March 18-20, 2011, at the Direct Energy Centre.

Julie Benz, Nicholas Brendon, Mercedes McNab, Clare Kramer and Mark Metcalf are all scheduled to appear at the “BuffyFest Toronto.” Similar events at other Wizard World shows have been huge hits.

The five guests will greet fans and participate in panels and discussions that highlight their roles in popular Joss Whedon television series such as “Buffy: the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel.”

Julie Benz, who played Darla, a vampire who lured hapless males by appearing as a seductive and mysterious, yet innocuous woman, has also been seen on “No Ordinary Family,” “Dexter” and the most recent RAMBO film

Brendon, who played Xander Harris, Buffy’s reliable and clown-fearing sidekick, has also been seen on “Kitchen Confidential,” “Without a Trace” and in a recurring role as Kevin Lynch in “Criminal Minds.”

Kramer, an actress, producer and restaurateur, played Glory, the evil goddess with a fashion sense, in “Buffy” and recently completed production on two films, ENDURE and THE DEAD ONES. She starred with fellow Buffy/Angel alum Eliza “Faith” Dushku in the cheerleader film BRING IT ON and TRU CALLING. She has also been a popular guest at numerous Wizard World events.

Mark Metcalf played “The Master” and has appeared in several other movies like ANIMAL HOUSE and DRIVE ME CRAZY.
